Boat identification

Post by Frisky »

How do I put a picture of my boat on the forum. I would like to find out if it is a Shetland hobby. Thanks in advance.

Hi ,just reading your post, did you have any joy in finding out the exact model and age of your boat ? . If so could you let me know how you got on , much appreciated

I have an old Shetland Family Four , its in very good condition and I am thinking of putting a cockpit canopy on it but to get the correct fit I need the age and exact model of my Family Four . I have the serial number which is 9599, on looking at other pictures , I suspect that it is a 536 ,but not sure, any suggestions would be welcomed
Thanks

Here's the serial numbers for the Family Four taken from this page on the site.

You'll need a member to interpret it, I'm not sure if 9599 is 1984 or 1985.

There seems to be several models of the Family Four according to this page.

I expect with you paying the reasonable £6? fee you'll be able to view
any page you like shortly. There are a few catalogues for your boat on
the page link I sent, worth looking at.
Members boats is good, great place for getting ideas and seeing how other
people have kitted out their boats.
